2 CAMOS Coastal and Arctic Maritime Operations and Surveillance Robust and efficient networking in dynamic heterogeneous environments. Mission and path optimization for mobile sensor network operations. Micro-satellites as network nodes. Underwater communication.

3 Who are we? Yuming Jiang Department of Telematics David Palma Department of Telematics Roger Birkeland Department of Electronics and Telecommunications Artur Zolich AMOS, Department of Engineering Cybernetics

4 What do we want to do? Robust and heterogeneous networking in harsh environments Synergy between multi-disciplinary ICTs Standalone and Future Internet compliant Software-defined and delay-tolerant networking

5 Heterogeneous Communication Seamless routing between: Anchored nodes/buoys Cyber-physical Systems (UAVs, AUVs, ) Satellites Ships or other Configurable routing Context-aware centralised decisions Backup paths for robustness

6 Why do we want to do that? No communication backhaul Need for manned expeditions Poor Satellite coverage First steps with CPS Harsh environment On and/or under water Information deficit

7 Cooperation Multi-disciplinary teams at NTNU Department of Electronics and Telecommunications Department of Telematics Department of Engineering and Cybernetics Research Initiatives GEMINI centre for Maritime Communications (SINTEF) AMOS H2020 SINet Industry Kongsberg Maritime Robotics.. Bitreactive FFI Space Norway Norwegian Space Centre

8 Blue Growth million Study on Blue Growth and Maritime Policy within the EU North Sea Region and the English Channel (FWC Mare: SC E1/2012/01), Ecorys, March 2014 More than jobs Integrated maritime surveillance Maritime spatial planning Multi-disciplinary research data

9 Blue Growth in the Arctic BG : An Integrated Arctic observation system proposal expected Increase temporal and geographic coverage and usefulness of observational data in the Arctic with a view to improving the assessment and prediction capacity of Arctic and planetary changes; Integrate with existing pan-arctic monitoring networks by building additional capacity and adding monitoring parameters to current programmes; Improve the cost-effectiveness of data collection in support of Arctic-related economic and societal activities;

10 How do we want to do that? Successful Proposals H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship An Integrated Heterogeneous Sensor Network Platform Reconfigurable Radio Network Platform The CAMOS node Autonomous wireless buoy Multi-hop heterogeneous network Support for communication with Satellite and CPS links
